This downturned rear flap holds the upper member or screen in place, and theiupturned lips 11 securely retainthe nersof the screen. i V v V Further, the member 9 is provided with an inwardly turned'vertical lip 12. for the I reception of the free end of the pivoted shutter 13, This shutter is pivotally held in place by a wood screw 14 passing therethrough and through the member 9. The other end of the member Q is provided with a screw-15. j The upper edge of the pivoted shutter isfolded over, as indicated'at16, to provide a finishedportion, so that there is no ehance of cutting-thefingers of the user.

]tings or clips 22 carried by'the upper portion of the lower panel, as shown in Fig- .ures 1-and'2. The master frame is provided on its inner face witha locking and spacing rod '23 providedwith notches cooperating with a clip 2e secured to the lower panel so that the lower panel 25 maybe opened in, as c shown in s Figure 2, when desired, It is upwardly and latehing it behind locked in place'bv rocking theime mber 23 69 the clip 26 carriedby the master frame. V I

t is to be. noted particularly that the lower sash orpanelmember 25 is provided with a projecting portion or lip 27 which is formed by .rabbeting the'entire sidesgtop,

side-bottom' cor and bottom of the lower panel. This lip 27 fits-within the cut-out portion 4 of the mas ter frame and into a cut-out portion or rabbeted, portion 28 on the lower or bottom part of the upper panel 18. The upper panel is similarly provided with alip 29 whichextends'up its side, and across its'top and fits withinftheporti'on 4c or, the master 'fra1ne.

Thus, the panels are held against motion in one direction by means of themaster frame and are heldagain'st motion'inthe other direction byvmeans of'the clips and latches describedabove.

It is intended that the panels be interchangeable iso that both storm panels and screen panels may be used, as required,,without disturbing the master frame. p

In positioning the: panels, the upper panel is fi st slipped upwardly so that its upper edge passes beneath the clipsl? (see Figures 1 and 2). Thereafter, thecatches or bolts .20 are operated tohold. the upper panel against downward motion;- Subsequently, the lower panel is hooked onto the upper panelby engaging the members 21 and 22,

The ,lower panel is then rocked into place other suitable type of' fastener. I It is thus a very simple and easy matter. to

'; I claim:

I A device of the class including I a frame having a cutout portion at itslower and fastened by; the member 23 or byany end,,a' screen member arranged over and normallyclosingthe cutout portion, a metal sheet secured to the frame over the screen member vand formed with a cutout correspondingtothe cutout in'the' frame, said sheet 7 .havingj upturned bottom lips at the ends thereof for embracing one edge of the screen and a longitudinally disposed downturned flap at the other edge of the metal plate, a" :"shutter pivotally connected tothe metal sheet at one end and adapted to be normally positioned"longitudinally of the cutout por- I tion; a folded portion at the upper 'edge, of r the shutter member and an inturned lip at one end of the metal sheet providing a guide for the pivoted shutter and adapted to be engaged at one end with the folded edge of the I shutter to limit the downward movement of said shutter.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I I have hereunto set my hand at Marinette, in the county of Mai'inette and State of Wisconsin.
